a person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher or formal education; a self-taught person.
I’m proud to consider myself an autodidact for a lot of things in my life.
- I taught myself how to play the drums (and music)
- I taught myself how to start a business
- I taught myself how to love unconditionally
For as many skills I’ve learned on my own, there are far more that I learned from teachers, mentors, family, and friends. To everyone that has helped me along the way, I would not be the person I’ve become without you.
